Use the Menu
The menu is a flexible framework rather than a calorie prescription.
Check Estimates
Protein amounts are approximate, use cooked weights, and let product labels take priority.
Build to Appetite
Add fruit, vegetables, grains, sauces, and fats according to your appetite.
Keep It Flexible
Repeat favorites or use similar-protein swaps because no ingredient or optional snack is required.
Prep Once
Set aside 60 to 90 minutes to cook lentils and quinoa, hard-boil eggs, bake chicken and turkey meatballs, roast vegetables, mix dressing, and portion meals.
Store Safely
Refrigerate Days 1 to 4, freeze the listed chicken, turkey, lentil, and quinoa portions for Days 5 to 7, thaw them two days ahead, and use leftovers within three to four days.
Cook Salmon Fresh
Cook salmon on Days 2 and 6, and make an extra portion on Day 2 for the Day 4 lunch.
